This is ultimate feel good TV. No sparky nasty competition here. Just genius bakers working together and being kind and supportive to one another. The hostess is incredibly successful and is incredibly kind and supportive to all of the bakers! You will fall in love with each of these guys for different reasons. If this show does not get a second through eighth season then all is lost in humanity!

I know..its not the best baking show BUT its the nicest.. I mean look at them helping and supporting each other. I just love the energy...

Its really fresh to see a more casual friendly competition. Although the artificial time contraint is still present. We sometimes get to see a glimps of them just helping each other out, like cooking tips or just helping to carry something heavy. Personally this really gives the show some fresh air compared to other cooking shows that are heavily competative.

The show does sometimes fall for the usual reality tv tropes. Like sappy backstories. For example, something has a personal connection to someones childhood and that makes this cake "really special to me, and i'm gonna do everything I can to make this perfect for X person". And more stuff like that, wicch I can personally do without.

All in all, its much less serious than other cooking shows and that does give it it's charm. So I would recomend this to someone that is looking for a more lighthearted cooking show. But in the end its still sappy overedited reality tv.

6/10: good but not great.

Fun show but clearly some competitors are not great. Maya Camille is so bad that we actually kept watching to see how cringe her creations would be. The first creation she did was worst than a nailed it show. Fun nonetheless.

Christina Tosi (creator of Milk Bar) brings 4 expert bakers together to compete against each other to see who can come up with the best cake (or baked good) for a customers special day. Creativity abounds in the best of ways.

Really fun show.
